The text file 'test_text.txt' contains something like this:
2.000000e-01 3 4.230000e-0 1 2
I wanted to pick each number between the spaces in a array and later i can process them. I am able to pick what I need with the code below. So if you see in line2 'X_data' contains all strings in a array so i can access them later. But say suppose there are 100 numbers in that line in the text file and i wanted to pick X_data(90) then how do I do it without keep writing %s so many times in textscan command ? Thank you.
fid = fopen('test_text.txt','r');
X_data = textscan(fid2,'%s %s %s %s');
str = X_data(4);
fclose('fid');

you could use
fid = fopen('test_text.txt','r');
xdata=str2num(fgets(fid))
fclose(fid)
or you can use
M = dlmread(filename, delimiter)
or you can use
T = readtable(filename)

what version of matlab do you use? May be in your version that function is not yet included. Not sure when readtable was added to matlab.

Rakesh - is it necessary that you treat all the data in the file as strings, especially since they appear (from your example) to be numeric? If not, then you could import the data using importdata where you specify that the delimiter between each column of data is the space character
X_data=importdata('test_text.txt',' ');
Then X_data(90) would return the 90th element from the only row in that file.

Did you set the delimiter type (second input to importdata) to be the space character? I took your example and pasted it into a file, and was able to read in the data using the above line of code.

Hi,
I need to read each line in a text file as a comple string including space such as 'n30e 45se', and apply a set of functions such as 'M=strfind(str,'n')' to each line, and get an output text file.
